BACKGROUND
The DOST-SEI Bangon Marawi Program in Science and Technology Human Resource Development (STHRD) was conceptualized in 2017 following the Marawi City siege. As the DOST’s service institute for S&T human resource development, the Science Education Institute implemented the scholarship program for the immediate members of families affected or displaced from their communities due to the siege.
The program has supported a total of 496 scholars at the undergraduate and graduate levels in its five-year implementation. Out of this, 367 or 74% have already graduated and the rest are completing their degrees. Aside from scholarship privileges, the Bangon Marawi Program provided a learning resource center and training opportunities for the scholars. Considering its successful implementation, the DOST-SEI announces the availability of scholarships for qualified second-year college students enrolled in priority S&T programs effective the First Semester of AY 2022-2023.
